I have a lot of tedious, unfulfilling work I REALLY don’t want to do today but need to clear by COB before I go on leave. I’ve had a slow start to the day and a battle of Feels. Thankfully, the sun is shining so that makes it easier to stay on the good side for now
Today’s strategy:
- keep reminding myself of the reward after getting through today
- remind myself efficiency is a good thing too
- enjoy all the good food - today’s medicinal carb is a Woodfrog bakery croissant. Dumplings for lunch
- go out and weed my planter boxes at lunchtime for some serotonin 'n shit
- blast all the feel-good 70s/80s pop rock. Currently on Toto, next up is classic Chicago
- celebrate the end of the day by calling/messaging people I love
I got this!..
e: busting out the ELO now. Thanks to this Russian dude who uploaded 2x 2h complications!
You have to put on Eye of the Tiger, it’s just a good rev up song for me.
Please look after yourself!
Ha almost sounds like my day, I’m on leave at COB and on a plane first thing in the morning, but have a STACK to get finished here at work.
Downsides for me are being onsite in a windowless dungeon (yay for IT getting the least habitable spot on the site…!) and not having the awesome music!
Plus-side, I have some kickass leftovers from last night for lunch - I’ve been looking forward to today’s lunch since I finished dinner last night!
5 hours 18 minutes to go…
I am infinitely grateful to be wfh on a gorgeous day like this, ngl. Blasting the music and regularly getting up from my chair when I’m bored/frustrated has been helpful. How are you going with the work? I’m making progress, bit spotty but I’m 30% of the way through the shitty reports. If I can get all the worst done by 2pm leaving just banal easy work for the rest of the day, I’ll be winning.
Also what leftovers are these?! I love a good lunch that you can look forward to.
I’m so jelly of the WFH! I’m on track to get everything finished on time thankfully. It’s just annoying that there’s heaps I could have had done already were it not for the dragging of heels by others!
My wife’s pasta, sauce, and killer meatballs (all home-made of course or her Italian mother would disown her!), will surely put me into a food coma for the latter part of the day however :D
I was given the present of love. Baklava.
Well that was a relief. All made it.
I found that real estate ad I mentioned yesterday
Scroll through the photos to see. Kinda NSFW.
That bathroom will be a bitch to clean - so hard to get behind and under a clawfoot bath. The naked woman is an interesting selling point, though
That’s really weird. I don’t mind the house though, especially if it comes with the goat.
This isn’t the first Tassie real estate ad I’ve seen with a random surprise female agent lurking about.
Maybe it’s starting to trend over there ? I actually don’t mind adding a human element to an otherwise sterile advert. Seems like most ads have a human element for relatability.
We did show a different example of this type of ad(also located in Tas) to a mate who owns an agency in WA. He thought it was ridiculous haha.
I saw a video yesterday of a house and the real estate agent was in it. She wasn’t saying anything just all this dramatic music as she flows through the house and looking longingly from the balcony and it reminded me of the ad I posted when I saw it years ago.
Oh poo. Thought I had the afternoon off tomorrow but the client is back sooner than we all thought.
I just hope they haven’t discharged her too soon…
